The Guachinches of Tenerife

Visitors to Tenerife looking for restaurant recommendations, particularly budget restaurants, often ask “where do the locals eat?”. Almost without exception, the answer they’ll be given by ex-pats is the name of a restaurant that’s popular with fellow ex-pats. But if you want to know where the real locals, ie the Canarios eat, follow the signs to a guachinche.

Fluent in Spanish and having spent 16 years on the island, Pamela Stocks has now been translating, researching and publishing information on customs and events in Tenerife for 25+ years. This takes a considerable amount of time and effort, for which she receives no payment whatsoever. If you find this work useful or interesting, please buy her a coffee. Buy Pamela Stocks a Coffee
